Hi, I recently puchased a 2007 RX400h. When I am coming to a stop from highway speeds my hybrid brakes will work for a while and then I can feel them quit. I have to then stop with the hydraulic part of the braking system. The battery is not fully charged when this happens. If I let off of the brakes completely and reapply they start working again. This is my 3rd hybrid (Prius, Ford Fusion) and they never did this. Is this common or do I have a problem? Thanks

A few people have had their brake actuator replaced. Have you had the dealer flush the brake fluid recently? Owners manual says it should be done every 30k miles. Dealer will want to do that first. If flush does not fix the issue then brake actuator would be my next guess.

When I was in the Air Force when we said the stick acuator needed to be replaced we meant the pilot! I hope the brake acuator is not me.
